A bold, unapologetic breakdown of how Donald Trump's economic and foreign policy strategies defied expert predictions and rewrote global norms. From the media's dire warnings about tariffs and inflation to the reality of booming stock markets and record-setting trade deals, the narrative challenges the mainstream consensus. The segments delve into Trump's overhaul of U.S.-Europe trade relations, NATO funding, and military accountability, while exposing corruption concerns in Ukraine and the shifting financial burden to the European Union. Through it all, the transcripts highlight the deep disconnect between political elites, media narratives, and unfolding geopolitical realities.

On today's AgNet News Hour, the Ag Meter Nick Papagni and Josh McGill take a deep dive into one of California's most pressing agricultural issues—groundwater management. Their guest, Madera County farmer and water expert Matt Angel, delivers a sobering and eye-opening assessment of the state's water crisis and the systemic failures that have left California's farmers struggling. Angel, who's lived and worked in the heart of Madera's most impacted groundwater sub-basin, brings unmatched firsthand experience. Over the past nine years, he's witnessed a staggering 140-foot drop in groundwater levels on his own farm. Through the episode, Angel lays out how SGMA (Sustainable Groundwater Management Act), while well-intentioned, has suffered from fragmented implementation, poor communication, and a lack of meaningful community involvement. With over 12 GSAs (Groundwater Sustainability Agencies) in just three Madera County sub-regions, Angel explains that local governance has become chaotic and ineffective. Many production wells lack working flow meters, and the state's reliance on outdated groundwater models further hinders progress. "You can't manage what you can't see,” he tells listeners, emphasizing the urgent need for real-time data and county-wide measurement systems. In a candid and impassioned exchange, the show also explores why farmers aren't better represented in water policy decisions and why experts like Angel are often left out of the conversation. “There's only one farmer on all these boards,” says Papagni. “That's the problem right there.” Beyond water, the hosts touch on USDA restructuring, new cross-border water funding agreements, and the upcoming segment on almonds featuring Valley Pride Ag's Sonny Torr. But it's Angel's clear-eyed warning about California's groundwater that makes today's show one of the most critical listens of the season. Don't miss this compelling episode of the AgNet News Hour.

Does your son struggle in math class? Did he miss the big play on the sports field that would have won the game?Failures and fiascos will trip up your son. You wish he'd only see success, but that's unrealistic. Even when we try our very best, disappointment and discouragement can still strike. And when it does, your son may experience frustration and exasperation. These are normal human emotions, but we don't have to give in to them. Instead, remind your son that failures don't define who he is. If he has accepted Christ as his savior, he is a child of the King. Because of that, your son is of incredible worth to God. And that's way more important than any school grade or sports event.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Lion of Judah: How the Lion came Despite our Failures

Defining Success July 27, 2025 Elwyn Johnston 1 Thessalonians 2:1 - 12 Verse of the Week: “We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God's Good News but our own lives” 1 Thessalonians 2:8 1. God does not define success the way the world does. “some of the Jews were jealous, so they gathered some troublemakers from the marketplace to form a mob and start a riot.” Acts 17:5 “Immediately when night came, the believers sent Paul and Silas to the city of Berea.” Acts 17:10 “You yourselves know…that our visit to you was not a failure.” 1 Thessalonians 2:1 “Failures” are a launching pad, not a landing pad. “God gave us the courage to declare His Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition.” 1 Thessalonians 2:2 “A righteous person may fall seven times, but they get up again.” Proverbs 24:16 “Failure” can be a great teacher! Our goal is to please Christ, not culture. “we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.” 1 Thessalonians 2:4 “We didn't seek praise from people, from you or from anyone else” 1 Thessalonians 2:6 2. Society defines success by riches. God defines success by relationships. “we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother gently cares for her own children” 1 Thessalonians 2:7 “We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God's Good News but our own lives” 1 Thessalonians 2:8 “we were exhorting and comforting and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children” 1 Thessalonians 2:11 “Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15 “Don't you remember, brethren, how hard we worked among you?” 1 Thessalonians 2:9

Welcome to a special four-part podcast series titled "Thomas Edison on Leadership." In this series, we'll explore the surprising and insightful leadership principles of one of history's most prolific inventors—principles that still speak powerfully to today's leaders in business, ministry, and innovation. Thomas Alva Edison (1847–1931) was not only the mind behind the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and motion pictures—he was also the founder of 14 companies, including General Electric. Over the course of his lifetime, he was granted 1,093 patents, a staggering achievement that speaks to both his creativity and his tenacity. But what often goes unnoticed is Edison's extraordinary ability to lead others, manage chaos, overcome failure, and build an enduring legacy of innovation. Edison was an incredible leader, a tireless experimenter, and a shrewd entrepreneur. His Menlo Park and later West Orange labs were among the first true innovation hubs, long before the term became common. In this second episode, we delve into the failures of Edison, failures he considered essential to success. The post Thomas Edison on Leadership – Part 2: How Failures Succeed appeared first on Church Answers.

Greg and Ed discuss something that is more common than many people think: being wrong about expecting some Thai government project or initiative to fail. It's pretty easy, as expats often fall into the rut of cynicism about the Thai government sticking to a plan and actually getting stuff done, but the truth is, Thailand sometimes gets stuff right!  Greg begins by bringing up Benjakitti Forest Park. It replaced the Thai Tobacco Monopoly, which occupied prime real estate between Sukhumvit and Rama IV for many years. When Greg heard it was going to be made into a giant public park, he was like, “Yeah right, it's gonna get taken over by mall and condo developers,” but lo and behold, the majestic Forest Park is now there for Bangkokers to see and enjoy, and has been written about in publications around the world. Ed follows with something different: when he heard about the epic scale of the COVID vaccine rollout in Thailand, he thought it would be widely inefficient with day-long queues. In fact, it was shockingly professional, and he was in and out of there in 30 minutes!  Greg continues with a story about the eventual success of the Thai Elite Card, and Ed follows with a discussion of electronic banking in Thailand and the unexpected return of the Shinawatra clan to Thai politics.  Lesson learned: Don't fall into the cynicism trap!

Happy Friday, everyone! I've been sitting on some of these topics for a few weeks because it actually took me a couple weeks to process the implications of it all. There's no more denying what's been happening quietly behind closed doors. This week, I'm tackling the AI layoff tsunami that's making landfall. It's not a future prediction. It's already here. CEOs are openly bragging about replacing people with AI, and most employees still believe it won't affect them. But the real problem goes deeper than the layoffs. It's our blindness to the complexity of each other's work.I'll also touch on some real-world failures already emerging from rushed AI rollouts. We're not just betting big on unproven tech; we're already paying the price.With that, let's get to it.⸻CEOs Are Bragging About AI LayoffsIt's no longer whispers in the break room or rumors over lunch. Top executives are going public with their aggressive plans to eliminate jobs and replace them with AI. I explain why this shift from silence to PR spin means the decisions are already made. I'll also cover what that means for employees, HR teams, and leaders trying to stay ahead. If you think your company or your job is “different,” you need to hear this.⸻Our Biggest Vulnerability in the Age of AIBill Gates' recent comments highlight our greatest AI risk. Everyone thinks other people's jobs can be automated, but not theirs. This blind spot is the quiet fuel behind reckless automation strategies and poor tech deployments. I walk through the mindset that's making us more fragile, not more future-ready, and what it takes to lead with discernment in a world obsessed with efficiency.⸻The AI Disasters Have BegunMcDonald's just exposed sensitive candidate data. Workday is facing a lawsuit over AI-driven hiring bias. And companies are already walking back failed AI rollouts, albeit quietly. Some of the fastest-growing companies are focused on cleaning up the messes. I unpack what's gone wrong, the risks most leaders are ignoring, and how to avoid the same mistakes before you end up in cleanup mode.⸻If this one hit close to home, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who needs to hear it. Leave a review, drop a comment, and follow for weekly updates that help you lead with clarity, not chaos.—Show Notes:In this Future-Focused Weekly Update, Christopher exposes the hard truth behind the latest wave of AI-driven layoffs. He starts with a breakdown of the public statements now coming from CEOs across industries, signaling that the era of AI replacements isn't on the horizon; it's here. From there, he tackles the underlying mindset problem that's leaving teams vulnerable to poor decisions: the belief that others' jobs are expendable while ours are immune. Finally, he dissects early AI failures already creating reputational and operational risk, offering practical insight for leaders navigating the minefield of digital transformation.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction and Welcome00:50 - Today's Rundown: AI and Workforce Layoffs02:13 - CEOs Publicly Announce AI Layoffs19:25 - Bill Gates on the Future of Coding33:56 - Real-World Examples of AI Risks42:22 - Final Thoughts and Call to Action#AILayoffs #CEOsAndAI #DigitalLeadership #AIethics #HumanCenteredTech #FutureOfWork #McDonaldsAI #WorkdayLawsuit #AIstrategy #FutureFocused

Remember what used to happen to the teenage girl from the Christian family who got pregnant? Maybe you don't, because you never heard in the first place that the girl was even pregnant. She just disappeared. . . usually halfway across the country to Aunt Martha's farm. Then, a year or two later, she'd reappear and life would go on as if nothing happened. That's the way it used to be in the church when a family was in crisis. If other people found out, a family was surrounded by judgment rather than grace. We deal with the fallout of that way of life when we find ourselves in crisis and our first thought is “What will other people think??” or “Who knows??” Consequently, we do all we can to cover up the crisis, deal with it quietly, and move on. But that's a horrible way to live and it's not the least bit helpful to our kids. It exposes the idolatry of our own hearts, sending the message that we're more concerned about what other people think of us, than the well-being of our kids.

Tonight, we are privileged to welcome Corey, a passionate advocate who has taken to social media to shed light on the shortcomings of Maine's Child Protective Services (CPS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Corey's commitment to raising awareness about these critical issues is vital, especially as we delve into the heartbreaking stories of children who have suffered due to systemic failures. Among the cases we will examine are those of Marissa Kennedy, Ayla Reynolds, and Maddox Williams, each of whom tragically lost their lives or went missing while in the care of a parent, highlighting the dire consequences of negligence within the system.In addition to these tragic cases, we will also discuss the heartbreaking stories of foster children Logan Marr and Majesty Macfarlane, both of whom died while under the supervision of their foster parents. These incidents raise urgent questions about the effectiveness of the protective measures in place and the accountability of those responsible for the welfare of vulnerable children. The circumstances surrounding these cases reveal a troubling pattern that cannot be ignored, as they underscore the critical need for reform within CPS and DHHS to ensure that children are safeguarded from harm.As we explore these distressing narratives, we must confront the pressing question: why are so many children dying while under the care of CPS and DHHS in Maine? This inquiry is not merely about statistics; it is about the lives lost and the families shattered by preventable tragedies. Tonight, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the systemic issues at play and advocate for meaningful changes that prioritize the safety and well-being of children in the state.

Griff Jenkins delivers a hard-hitting report on the dangerous realities created by sanctuary city policies, spotlighting the release of violent criminal aliens like a convicted rapist in Arlington, VA, despite ICE detainers. Jenkins highlights the surge in assaults against ICE agents, tying the violence to hostile rhetoric from Democratic leaders. He discusses congressional debates over immigration reform and a controversial “dignity bill” that some Republicans warn resembles amnesty, warning it contradicts public opinion favoring deportation of illegal aliens. Jenkins also shares his frontline experiences covering border issues and the political divide over enforcement, underscoring the frustration and risks faced by law enforcement and communities caught in the middle.

Tonight, we are privileged to welcome Corey, a passionate advocate who has taken to social media to shed light on the shortcomings of Maine's Child Protective Services (CPS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Corey's commitment to raising awareness about these critical issues is vital, especially as we delve into the heartbreaking stories of children who have suffered due to systemic failures. Among the cases we will examine are those of Marissa Kennedy, Ayla Reynolds, and Maddox Williams, each of whom tragically lost their lives or went missing while in the care of a parent, highlighting the dire consequences of negligence within the system.In addition to these tragic cases, we will also discuss the heartbreaking stories of foster children Logan Marr and Majesty Macfarlane, both of whom died while under the supervision of their foster parents. These incidents raise urgent questions about the effectiveness of the protective measures in place and the accountability of those responsible for the welfare of vulnerable children. The circumstances surrounding these cases reveal a troubling pattern that cannot be ignored, as they underscore the critical need for reform within CPS and DHHS to ensure that children are safeguarded from harm.As we explore these distressing narratives, we must confront the pressing question: why are so many children dying while under the care of CPS and DHHS in Maine?

Marking the first anniversary of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., the US Senate released two reports on failures by the Secret Service failures both during and prior to the attempt. The level of incompetence shown in the reports has caused some to wonder whether Secret Service was really even trying to prevent it.

When the flood came, the warnings didn't. In this episode, a deadly cascade of communication breakdowns and the consequences of delay. At least 129 people are dead, with dozens still missing, after historic flash flooding swept through central Texas. The timeline reveals a gap between federal alerts and local action. Lives were lost in those hours.We examine what went wrong, why the local warning system never materialized despite years of requests, and how messaging from state and national leaders continues to fail the public in real-time. From delayed sirens to political deflections, this is a story about infrastructure, accountability, and the high cost of silence.Plus: the Camp Mystic aftermath, FEMA's delayed deployment, the governor's football analogy, and the backlash to a viral video that reframed the tragedy through race and privilege.The floodwaters receded. The questions haven't.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

This week, I handed the mic over to my business bestie, Angie McPherson, for a “reverse interview” that's 13 years in the making. Angie and I started our journeys as photographers—and now we're coaches, speakers, and community builders who still talk business almost daily. In this off-the-cuff conversation, we ask each other five questions we didn't prep for (yikes!) and reflect on everything from our biggest business lessons to what we'd tell our former selves. You'll hear about investments that changed everything, the most uncomfortable moments, and our dreams for the future. If you're navigating growth, pivoting, or just want to feel seen—this episode is for you.

Brodes continues to talk Sixers and who he believes is most responsible/associated with the team's failures over the years.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about Gavin Newsom's disastrous appearance on “The Shawn Ryan Show” where things got awkward fast when Shawn asked him a question from Joe Rogan about the damage caused by his COVID vaccine mandates for children and his draconian COVID policies, as well as if he would support gender affirming care for his child; FBI Director Kash Patel telling Joe Rogan how the Trump administration is investigating whether or not Dr. Fauci lied to congress and the general public about the origins of COVID; Linda McMahon showing the catastrophic degree to which the Department of Education accelerated failing public schools and the decline of American education: the press being surprised by LA Mayor Karen Bass' plan to solve illegal immigrants being too scared to go to their jobs; Scott Jennings getting CNN's Abby Phillip to defend child labor at marijuana fams; and much more.   WATCH the MEMBER-EXCLUSIVE segment of the show here: https://rubinreport.locals.com/   Today's Sponsors: Balance of Nature - Make sure you are getting all the positive effects from a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

In this in-depth conversation, the hosts spotlight Donald Trump's historic declaration of an energy emergency—used to fast-track America's first rare earth minerals mine in 70 years and the first coal mine in nearly three decades. They contrast this milestone with the Democrats' climate agenda, warning that plans to impose extreme emissions regulations, mandate electric vehicles, and eventually ration electricity would have led to economic disaster. The discussion underscores the example of the Netherlands, where the rush to abandon natural gas has crippled the grid, left thousands of homes unpowered, and forced rationing. The speakers argue that this is the intended endgame: political elites seizing control over energy to wield leverage over businesses and citizens. They call for an “all of the above” approach—coal, nuclear, natural gas, renewables—to secure America's future and avoid becoming a vassal state to China, which is aggressively building every type of energy infrastructure. The segment ends on a note of urgency: despite Trump's gains, they insist the U.S. must move quickly to reclaim energy independence before it's too late.

Who doesn't like beer? Lots of people, apparently. As Americans sought to remedy the ills plaguing their society, beer was caught in the cross hairs. We tell the story of how the American beer industry rose to defend itself against Progressive Era reforms in a decades-long fight.

In this fiery segment, the host exposes the hypocrisy of Democrats lamenting the lack of shower privacy for violent illegal immigrants held in a Florida detention facility—dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” While media figures like Debbie Wasserman Schultz decry the conditions, the host highlights the inmates' crimes, including murder, sexual assault, and arson, and contrasts their treatment to the lack of privacy female athletes and military personnel routinely face. The show then pivots to a bombshell revelation about the Butler rally shooting attempt on Donald Trump, detailing how local law enforcement warned the Secret Service face to face about the assassin, yet no action was taken—raising chilling questions about security failures and deliberate negligence.

In this wide-ranging conversation, the hosts unpack an eventful week in politics and government. They start by dissecting Donald Trump's major Supreme Court win affirming presidential authority to fire federal employees, which resulted in over 1,300 layoffs at the State Department—including staff whose jobs were still tied to the long-ended Afghan war. The hosts ridicule the media outrage and highlight how some fired employees left behind anti-Trump slogans, revealing entrenched partisan attitudes inside federal agencies. The discussion then shifts to alarming new details about security lapses in the attempted assassination of Trump. Despite clear warnings and direct, face-to-face alerts about the shooter's suspicious behavior—including the use of a rangefinder and laser pointer—Secret Service leaders ignored them. Even after the attack, the officials most responsible were neither disciplined nor removed. With credible threats against Trump escalating, the hosts call for a sweeping overhaul of the Secret Service to prevent another deadly failure.
